lsquoBuena Vista Social Clubrsquo is both the name given to this extraordinary group of musicians and the album, recorded in just seven days in 1996 in Havanarsquos 1950s vintage EGREM studios. It was clear from the atmosphere of the recording sessions that something very special was taking place. However, no one could have predicted that Buena Vista Social Club would become a worldwide phenomenon ndash awarded a Grammy in 1997 and, at 8 million copies, outselling any other record in the same genre.The acclaim of the original album has elevated the artists including Ibrahim Ferrer, Rubeacuten Gonzaacutelez amp Omara Portuondo to superstar status, inspired an awardwinning film by Wim Wenders, and has contributed to popularising Cubarsquos rich musical heritage. Produced by Ry Cooder for World Circuit, the timeless quality of the music and the sheer verve of the veteran performers have ensured that this will go down as one of the landmark recordings of the 20th century.To celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the albums recording, producer Ry Cooder and World Circuits Nick Gold have gone back to the original tapes and into the archive to produce this Deluxe Remaster package, featuring previously unheard tracks from the original 1996 recording sessions, previously unseen photos, and new liner notes.Contentsbull The original album, Remastered by Bernie Grundman, on 180g 2LPbullnbsp5 bonus tracks taken from the original studio session tapesbullnbsp20 page booklet including new liner notes, photos, song notes amp lyrics2LPA1 Chan Chan 2021 RemasterA2 De Camino a La Vereda 2021 RemasterA3 El Cuarto de Tulanbsp2021 RemasterA4 Pueblo Nuevonbsp2021 RemasterB1 Dos Gardeniasnbsp2021 RemasterB2 iquest Y Tu Que Has Hechonbsp2021 RemasterB3 Veinte Anosnbsp2021 RemasterB4 El Carretero 2021 RemasterB5 Candela 2021 RemasterC1 Amor de Loca Juventud 2021 RemasterC2 Orgullecida 2021 RemasterC3 Murmullo 2021 RemasterC4 Buena Vista Social Club 2021 RemasterC5 La Bayamesa 2021 RemasterD1 Vicenta D2 La Pluma D3 A Tus PiesD4 La Cleptomana D5 Orgullecida Alternate Trio Take Previously unreleased tracks and alternate takes from the original 1996 studio session tapes Buena Vista Social Club Heavyweight-LP is available for home delivery from Vinyl Records London, only £25
